Geoff_B Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Will it be a standard injection moulded kit or an A-monster kit with the GRP main parts, and price tag to match ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
general melchett Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Good point Geoff......but after looking at the Blinder, Be-12 and VVA-14 I was kind of hoping that Modelsvit might do it. It all depends on what advances Amodel have made with their larger model moulding equiment and whether they still opt for the GRP process.. Great to see one at all and if it's IM and anything like their 1/144th kit it'll be extremely nice... all I know is I'll definitely be getting one.

Radleigh Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I don't care on cost, I'm getting one. Best-news-ever. I reckon it'll be injection... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flankerman Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 As I have already got a vacform Be-10, I might get one to convert into the proposed missile-armed Be-10N http://i1086.photobucket.com/albums/j444/WhyMe-PB/FD/BerievBe-10N.png Ken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonehammer Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Unsurprisingly, the Deka vacuforms are being flushed out by their previous owners... Are sprue pictures out yet?

gavingav1 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Holy cow, did A-model's quality just jump up a giant notch or are those sprue pics retouched . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
general melchett Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Got mine on Monday, absolutely beautiful mouldings though of course I have yet to bung it all together. Looks to be as well done as their 1/144th version with the added bonus of the Tushino show red trimmed scheme. The addition of PE parts and a white vinyl masking set make it feel much more like a Modelvit product very similar to the Tu-22, Bartini and Be-12.....

Flankerman Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I'm just about to start mine......... I plan to do it as the missile-carrying Be-10N............ with a radar nose. Ken PS - I've just realised, that nose looks just like a Martin Marlin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upnorth Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Holy cow, did A-model's quality just jump up a giant notch or are those sprue pics retouched . Amodel has been incrementally improving their mold quality over the years. Part of that is that they've obviously got their hands on larger injection molding machines. If they had done this kit a few years ago, I'm pretty sure we would have seen it with fiberglass fuselage and wings and a bunch of smaller injection sprues.

Flankerman Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 (edited) I think its at the limit of their injection moudling capability - size-wise. Note that the fuselage is in front and rear halves - which will make for an interesting join to fill. The same was true of Modelsvit's Tu-22KD Blinder fuselage - front and rear halves......... The instructions on both kits just show the front and rear sections being simply butt joined - after assembling them into complete front and rear parts - not the best way of doing things IMHO as there isn't much of a mating surface.. Joining the front and rear fuselage parts together and strengthening the joint before joining the completed left and right halves is the way to go. AFAIK, Amodel & Modelsvit share the same DNA.

Radleigh Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I agree with you there Ken, I'm slowly building the Amodel An-24.. I started it quite a while back and followed the instructions. The join is good, but there is a slight step that's a pain in the arris to get rid of, so once my Be-10 hits the bench I will do it the way you did the Tu-22. All of their kits are like it that are over a certain size, An-8, An-24 range, Tu-134.. luckily the IL-18 family doesn't though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flankerman Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Isn't the Il-18 family fibreglass, not injection moulded??? - the Il-38 certainly is :- Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radleigh Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Yeah, sorry that's what I meant.. I only have the IL-20RT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelglue Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Ken What are the chances they would release another with the nose and weapons? I feel I would rather wait and see but I don't know this company's history that well. Seems they do a bit of mold milking with variants? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I believe this missile-carrying Be-10 was only a project, so that might cut down on the chances of seeing one released. Still, Amodel continue to surprise, so we can only hope - it is an interesting variant. Regards, Jason 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelglue Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I'm just about to start mine......... Ken,any chance you'd prop the fuselage and wings together next to a Foxhound or something similar? I'd love to see the size (and whether it would fit in my case). Cheers!

modelglue Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Yes, absolutely. Thank you very much Rad, say, what are those foxbats doing with the V2? Cheers, Jeff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
